SPECIAL ABILITIES

Ambush Pit (Ex)

A burrow god can spend 1 minute digging itself into the soil or other ground debris. It then waits for its blindsense to detect prey. When a creature comes within range, it can, as a full action, erupt from the ground and move up to twice its speed, making two attacks with its pincers at the end of this movement.

When dug in, the burrow god has improved cover, granting it a +10 bonus on Stealth checks.

Earth Spears (Ex)

A burrow god can spend 1 minute digging itself into rock, soil, or other ground debris. It then waits for its blindsense to detect prey. When a creature comes within range, it fires jagged bone projectiles from its back that lance up out of the ground. Each stalagmite-like projectile affects a five-foot square and tapers to a height of five feet. Every creature within a five-foot radius of the burrow god takes 2d6 points of piercing damage per square. Creatures that take up more than 1 square can be hit by multiple spears. The explosive growth can also trip foes. When the spears erupt from the ground, they to trip any targets that take damage from the spears, with a +2 bonus to the attack roll. Each additional earth spear beyond the first that strikes a single foe grants a +10 bonus on this attack roll. If the check is successful, the earth spears knock the foe prone. A successful DC 13 Reflex save halves the damage and prevents the trip attempt.
